Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Confirmed for December 4 Launch on Switch and Switch 2
Nintendo today announced the highly anticipated release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, setting it for December 4. The long-awaited title will launch simultaneously on both the original Nintendo Switch and the recently released Switch 2, a detail revealed during a recent Nintendo Direct livestream.
Players on the Switch 2 can look forward to a dedicated version of the game, boasting upscaled graphics and additional enhancements, similar to what’s planned for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. While a 2025 release window was previously known, the specific December 4 date provides concrete anticipation for fans of the iconic first-person adventure series.
Earlier this year, a thrilling trailer offered a glimpse into Samus Aran’s latest mission, showcasing new power-ups and the return to the series’ signature first-person exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving. Unlike the 2D action of Metroid Dread, Beyond promises a vast planet to explore, filled with malevolent alien creatures and an emphasis on scanning environments. Samus will also sport a cool-looking motorbike, complete with a matching Amiibo figure, and traverse expansive, open sections.
The development of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been notably rocky, with Nintendo famously restarting the project from the ground up in 2019. Despite the excitement surrounding the impending launch, a final price for the game has yet to be announced.
